I just made this post on a message board...

that probably won't appreciate it. I'm posting it here because I need people to tell me I'm not crazy. The subject is Nostalgia Critic's Jurassic Park 2 review.
"I watched it. It wasn't that bad, but whenever I see a large dinosaur up close to a human and growling, I get this feeling... I really don't like the violence, and that's probably what makes me feel terrible about the JP movies (there's a sort of mood whiplash that other people don't experience), but if that sort of scary "inches from a T-rex's face" type scene was ended with the T-rex (or large dinosaur, or dragon or whatever) being friendly... I know that sounds extremely stupid, and I'm honestly just rambling at this point, my emotions and desires don't make any sense, but I just want to see a scene where a large dinosaur stalks someone, and is inches from them, growling softly, and they're terrified, but then the dinosaur nuzzles them with its nose or somehow signals that it's friendly... the human's feeling of relief, and then affection, is something I really crave (before you start, no, it's not in a sexual way, none of the feelings I've described in this post are sexual) and I don't have any idea why... my hands are shaking and it's becoming difficult to type so I'm just going to end this post."
I really hate the Jurassic park movies. I do. I hate them so much more because there's parts of it I would otherwise really like (some of the dinosaurs are very sexy) but it's all soiled and ruined by the violence and the horror. And I know that violence and horror is realistic and expected and people would think it was stupid if the carnivores (hell, even just a few of them) were friendly, and that just makes me hate it so much more. It makes me feel like a total freak for wanting something like a friendly carnivorous dinosaur that isn't nauseatingly ugly or "cute" (like Denver or the dinosaurs from We're Back).
And before anyone brings up vore: the contrast between how much I love vore and how much I hate the idea of people being hurt or killed is so strong, and yet the distance between vore and violence is so small... anything that reminds me of it is going to hurt me very much. The same with dinosaurs and violence; the two are so closely connected, and I really hate being reminded of that because I love dinosaurs so much and hate the idea of them hurting people, or each other. This is why I hate the Jurassic park series so much.

I got that feeling you say you like from the first Night of the Museum movie... unfortunately, the dinosaur was all bones at the time. =( *tries to think of other instances like that* Hey, didn't that animated uhhh... Robinson movie about the future and inventions have a friendly dinosaur in it? I'll try to think of more. It feels like I've seen hundreds of dinosaurs being friendly to humans in movies, animation, random media in my life. =)
